"Fisheries, together with agriculture and forestry, contribute 4% to Saint Lucia’s GDP. - The coastal pelagic fishery is a very important fishery to communities along the west coast of the island. The coastal catch profile is largely jacks, ballyhoo and sardines. Other notable fisheries include the queen conch, sea turtles, sea urchins, as well as a deep slope fishery which targets snappers and grouper species.

Aquaculture is also fairly well established though still on a small scale, producing freshwater shrimp, tilapia and marine algae.

Specific fisheries management objectives are to maintain and/or restore the population of marine species, preserve rare or fragile ecosystems and habitats, and to protect and restore endangered marine and freshwater species amongst others. The government of Saint Lucia, with the assistance of Canada and Japan, has invested substantially in fisheries infrastructure." (visit link)
